 Context examples 


A radioimmunoconjugate consisting of capromab linked to lutetium Lu 177 via the bifunctional macrocyclic chelator methoxy-tetraazacyclododecane-tetraacetic acid (MeO-DOTA) with potential antineoplastic activity.

(Lutetium Lu-177 Capromab, NCI Thesaurus)

Lutetium Lu 177-edotreotide binds to somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), with high affinity to type 2 SSTR, present on the cell membranes of many types of neuroendocrine tumor cells.

(Lutetium Lu 177-Edotreotide, NCI Thesaurus)

Lutetium Lu 177-DOTA-TATE binds to somatostatin receptors (SSTRs), with high affinity to type 2 SSTR, present on the cell membranes of many types of neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells.

(Lutetium Lu 177-DOTA-TATE, NCI Thesaurus)

A radioimmunoconjugate of the humanized monoclonal antibody (MoAb) CC49 labeled with lutetium 131 (Lu-177).

(Lutetium Lu 177 Monoclonal Antibody CC49, NCI Thesaurus)

The antibody moiety of lutetium Lu 177 DOTA-tetulomab binds to CD37 on tumor B-cells.

(Lutetium Lu 177 DOTA-Tetulomab, NCI Thesaurus)

A radiolabeled divalent histamine-succinyl-glycine (HSG) hapten-peptide linked with the macrocyclic chelator 1,4,7,10-tetraazacyclododecane-1,4,7,10-tetraacetic acid (DOTA) to the radionuclide lutetium (Lu) 177.

(Lutetium Lu-177 Girentuximab, NCI Thesaurus)

A radioconjugate consisting of the somatostatin analogue edotreotide labeled with lutetium Lu 177 with potential antineoplastic activities.

(Lutetium Lu 177-Edotreotide, NCI Thesaurus)

Lutetium Lu 177-capromab binds to human prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) expressed on tumor cell surfaces via its capromab moiety and, upon internalization, delivers cytotoxic beta radiation directly to PSMA-expressing tumor cells.

(Lutetium Lu-177 Capromab, NCI Thesaurus)

A radioconjugate consisting of the tyrosine-containing somatostatin analog Tyr3-octreotate (TATE) conjugated with the bifunctional, macrocyclic chelating agent tetra-azacyclododecanetetra-acetic acid (DOTA) and radiolabeled with the beta-emitting radioisotope lutetium Lu 177 with potential antineoplastic activities.
